Description

Tucked away among gently rolling landscape and surrounded by tranquil ponds, this beautifully maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a lifestyle defined by peace, privacy, and connection to nature. If you value serenity, comfort, and your own slice of paradise, you’ve just found it.

Situated on 3.46 acres, this property invites you to slow down and soak in the beauty that surrounds you. Enjoy not one, but two ponds. A private pond and a larger shared pond both stocked with fish and alive with natural charm. Imagine yourself enjoying your favorite beverage on the covered front porch or unwinding on the concrete side patio, all while taking in the scenic views of the ponds and beautifully landscaped yard. Entertain with ease on the expansive patio beneath the covered pergola, or spend your evenings gathered around the firepit, watching ducks glide across the water, turtles bask in the sun, and deer roam gracefully through the landscape.

Adventure is always within reach. Launch your paddle boat for a peaceful ride at sunset, cast a line for a quiet morning of fishing, or explore your acreage on a 4-wheeler. Every day here feels like a retreat.

Step inside and you’re welcomed by a warm, open floor plan designed for both comfort and connection. The living room features a stunning stone gas fireplace, creating a cozy focal point that flows seamlessly into the dining area which is perfect for gatherings both large and small. The fully equipped kitchen offers an abundance of cabinetry and a convenient breakfast bar, making everyday living and entertaining effortless.

The main level is thoughtfully laid out with a spacious owner’s suite, two additional bedrooms, and a full bath, providing the ease of one-level living. Downstairs, the partially finished lower level expands your options with a comfortable recreational room featuring a wood-burning fireplace, a versatile bonus room, and a generous storage area complete with washer and dryer hookups.

Outside, functionality meets opportunity with two outbuildings featuring concrete floors. The larger building is equipped with electricity, ideal for a workshop or additional storage, while the smaller outbuilding includes a nearby water pump which is perfect for maintaining a garden or enhancing your outdoor space.

This is more than just a home, it’s a private escape where nature, comfort, and lifestyle come together in perfect harmony. Schedule your showing today and experience the peaceful oasis that awaits.
